#### Description

The feature that automatically downloads the installer for the latest version does so over clearnet, as opposed to over Tor. This is a potential privacy concern as anyone capturing/monitoring network traffic could see requests being made to bisq.network and downloading of the installer.

#### Version

ALL

### Steps to reproduce

- Run an older version of Bisq
- Run Wireshark and capture network traffic
- Initiate the download of the latest Bisq version from within the app

### Expected behaviour

All network traffic for downloading the installer should be encrypted and routed through Tor.

### Actual behaviour

A DNS request for bisq.network can be seen within Wireshark and downloading of the installer.

#### Additional info

DownloadTask opens a URL connection without utilizing a proxy.
